1989 was a great year with some iconic albums, but why is Blue Nile on this list but not Deacon Blue? Heck, they even knocked Madonna off the top spot, in a month that also saw classics from INXS, Fine Young Cannibals and Guns n Roses https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1prqk6JLsFGqz8nTlbj2JfX/12-classic-albums-that-define-1989
I mean I might be showing my age, and maybe that was the year I unlocked music big time, but there's also Prince's Batman soundtrack, Simple Minds, NIN, Beautiful South, RHCP, Belinda Carlisle, UB40, Erasure.
